Motivation means so many things to different people. Their impact
on the individual depends also on his perception of what he considers to
be of value to him and invariably influences his action or non-action.
Motivation can be described as a set of incentives monetary of
otherwise, reward and punishment systems which determine or influence
staff performance and altitude to work. It is a production of human
resource management and its impact goes on a long way in determining the
quality and quantity of production and the level of industrial and
labour harmony or disharmony in the organization.

person that cause the arousal, direction, and persistence of
goal-directed, voluntary effort.
